Constructing this next Black Business Month highlight with G.I.D. Remodeling & Services, LLC in Louisville, KY! 🏡 Founded in 2012 by Desmond Conley, this home building and remodeling business offers remodeling services for residential and commercial properties in the region including flooring, bath/kitchen renovations, basement renovations, painting, handyman services, and commercial. Desmond's career in graphic design developed an admiration for carpentry and remodeling, leading him to go back to community college for an Associate’s Degree in Construction Technology. For the past three years, Desmond has offered opportunities to Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) students as a way to “pay it forward” and allow students a way to complete their required 300-hour practicum while gaining industry experience. Desmond donates a percent of his annual profits to provide tools, safety equipment, and stipends for students who complete the 300 hours of practicum or internship, and he continues to look for other community programs to which he can donate time and talent! 🤝 🔗: https://lnkd.in/gMhRFPtv #TeamKentucky #Construction #Remodeling #Renovation #BlackBusinessMonth #SmallBusiness | Kentucky Small Business Development Center, Greater Louisville Inc., Greater Louisville Economic Development, Louisville Economic Development Alliance, U.S. Small Business Administration
